I've looked at it, and it seems to be a program that does similar
thing to my sample code in pbuilder.
'B91dpkg-i' script provided in pbuilder example should
do what piuparts is doing (with less checks than your code,
and more overhead).
'B' hooks in pbuilder are hooks that are ran after
pbuilder builds a package. I am hoping for
every maintainer to run that hook after building a package
so that they pass the basic tests.
